NAMI Skagit

NAMI Skagit is an organization of families, friends and individuals whose lives have been affected by mental illness. Together, we advocate for better lives for those individuals who have a mental illness.

Mission: Dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with mental health conditions and their families through support, education, and advocacy. Our Goals: Advocate at the county, state and national levels for non-discriminatory access to quality healthcare, housing, education and employment for people with mental health conditions. Educate the public about mental health conditions. Work to eliminate the stigma of mental health conditions. Advocate for increased funding for research into the causes and treatment of mental illness. Our Vision: In our envisioned future mental heath conditions will no longer thwart a person’s fulfillment of his or her potential. With early pinpoint diagnoses, interventions and targeted medications and services there is no pervasive disability. Ultimately, we envision a day when prevention or a cure is found.
